Matthew Metz
Matthew Metz (b. 1961) is a ceramic artist in Minnesota. His influences include Asian pottery traditions, Greek and Roman pots, early American decorative arts (quilts, face jugs) and other folk traditions. His pots are carved and drawn. They are decorative but still "relevant to contemporary life." The images are often abstract but deeply personal. He received a B.F.A. from Ball State University and a M.F.A. from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. He has been a guest lecturer and teacher throughout the country and his work can be found in the Arkansas Arts Center, Minneapolis Institute for the Arts, and the Archie Bray Foundation.
